At a party, Dana drinks three 12-ounce cans of beer and Lee drinks three 1½-ounce shots of 80-proof liquor over the same two hours. They weigh about the same. Which statement is true?
Correct answer: They took in about the same amount of alcohol from their drinks
Why
Your BAC depends on how much alcohol you drink, how quickly you drink it and your body weight, not on the type of drink. For a 150-pound man, each of these drinks raises BAC by about .02, and the body needs about one hour to remove that amount. No type of drink is safer than another before you drive.
